Gaslands Demonstration Game | Storm of Steel Wargaming

[@theplasticbarbarian3480]

After having the book for about 2 years I finally got around to playing this past weekend. Great game! My kids love it as well which makes it better.

[@shanepatrick4534]

Gaslands? I love it! I just started playing. I love how you have to balance your gear with your template with your hazard tokens.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Yeah, its a great game, lots of fun.

[@ciealevelpsychology4642]

Maybe i missed if you mentioned this but there should be no weapons fired prior to passing Gate 1. Otherwise, really enjoyed this demo.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, I forgot that rule.

[@Mixxie67]

Thank-you for explaining this game so well. I tried another video first and I was nearly completely lost. I want to learn to play this to eventually be able to teach it to my car-mad grandsons. They are both a bit young for it now, at 5 1/2 and nearly 3 1/2 but in a few years I think they'll be able to play, even it means simplifying some of the rules. Also, it's going to be a blast building terrains and customizing cars.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Glad I could help!

[@jeffjeffson5967]

There are also actual tanks in the game. The only thing I'd say about it is that the larger vehicles are less hull points to cost effective than the light ones, but you could easily homebrew that.

[@forgingaheadinart]

Great job!! Explanations easy to follow!! Having the full demo with movement and explaining all the different aspects of play is fantastic. My piqued interest has now been turned into full blown want to play!! Happy shifting and hope all your rolls are in your favor!! Thank you!!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, I am glad you enjoyed the playthrough, Gaslands is an excellent game, loads of fun and chaos! And a very easy entry level as well.

[@scarecrww]

Thanks man for making this, been thinking of getting Gaslands for a while now.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

You're welcome and I'm glad you liked the video. It's a great game, lots of fun.

[@almarcaUrban]

Love this game, so cool to see more content of it!

[@jeffjeffson5967]

8:22 there is a part in the book for converting normal D6 values to shift states.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Yep, I know.

[@patrik5600]

Always happy to see more demos!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers!

[@Oscuros]

31:35 personally I'd only use the "if you touch it you use it rule" if a particular player picks up a piece, you remind them of the consequences in play if they use it and then they change it, and only if they do that too many times, otherwise between friends it should be fine, I see that as a reserve rule for people who don't play much in good faith.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

To be honest, we've never used the rule in our games as it seems daft that the driver isn't attempting to judge their manoeuvre. I know the rule is supposed to model that, but the dice rolling also models it. But yeah, number one rule is don't play with bad faith gamers.

[@victorriceroni8455]

I absolutely love post apocalyptic vehicle wars. I wish I could enjoy board games. I am very glad you guys enjoy this cause I love seeing the vehicles you build.

[@jeffjeffson5967]

Love that blue truck.

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Sometimes you just need to bolt some steel plates on a Mini and forget about researching facing colors or what is the correct feldgrau. Glad youtube recommended this old one I missed when it was new.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Absolutely, Gaslands is a great game, loads of fun and mayhem!

[@youknoweverything7643]

If you want cool templates i used the photocopy ones asna template to make mine ou of styrene sheets i used the thickest sheet that hobby lobby had then added racing ribbons to each side of it and painted it a asphalt concrete color and used plaster as the surface to make cracks and bumps in the templates and gbey look really cool. Its over kill bht everyone at the gaming place loves them.

[@StackingLimit]

Gaslands is such a great game. Fantastic intro video as usual Alex. Keep up the good work.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Andrew, yeah, it's a good laugh, non-stop mayhem!

[@matthewwagner47]

This game looks fun.

[@SiliconSicilian]

Nice demo! Really got me more interested. My son is not quite 4 and still likes smashing things but he does always want to roll my dice so I may try this with him in a simplified race sometime.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you! It's a great fun game and could easily be simplified for kids to play.

[@gareth6972]

At 27:50 when you put the slide die to one side and have the car take an extra hazard, I thought you had to use a shift die result to cancel it out otherwise you had to take it? Have I got it crossed somewhere?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

You're probably right.

[@nickverwymeren]

Your desert mat looks great and really fits the theme! What brand is it?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thanks, it's from Tiny Wargames.

[@youknoweverything7643]

And my table at home is a post apocolyptic version of daytona international raceway ots really cool looking with holes from bombs amd weapons huge cracks and moss and weeds growing and dirt ahere the grass use to be amd ths stands and buildings are all broken amd shattered looking its really cool and ots a true 1/64 scale size of daytona international speedway amd its like nascar death race gladiator type racing themed table

[@youknoweverything7643]

My best friends gaming table is Bristol motor speedway true to 1/64 scale as we could get and its lile a death race colleseum race theme during post apocalypse anf since its nicknamed the last colleseum in real lofe its only rivht to male a Bristol death race gladiator table

[@youknoweverything7643]

And there is debries on track amd giant pot holes thst you have to avpid as obstacles as well

[@asgeiroj]

Just ordered the book. What weapon builds do you recommend ?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Great, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just try out whatever you fancy, experiment with it.

[@intersepter3332]

Great game

[@joesfootlocker3083]

Where did you get the minis to go in the cars? I’ve been looking and can’t find any.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Ramshackle Games and North Star both make them.

[@Tesseract_T]

This is a great overview of the game - thankyou so much! Just a note on the "I keep saying he, could be a woman driving" - Using "they" is a great way to be inclusive to all genders, it can take a bit of getting use to but a great tool to use for life in general when you don't know or want to assign genders 😊

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, glad you enjoyed the game. Are you the ones who make dividers for games? If so I have your AHLCG dividers and they are lovely!

[@Perchpole]

In the first round why did the blue car not move? Did the damage from shooting prevent it from making a move or did the “avoid” attempt count as it’s move? This was very unclear.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I'm can't remember, it's been several years since I made this video. It was probably just a mistake TBH.

[@youknoweverything7643]

Qhick. Question i know gaslands js scaled down for 1/64 scale diecast cars if i scale it up like the templates cluld you play with 1/24 scale model cars cause i have some really amazing 1/24 scale models i havebuilt that are mad max and post apocolyptic style death race cars and my friends also build 1/24 scale models and also have some amazing apocolyptic deatg race builds as well. Not only is it bugger but you can make the cars more detailed and realistic looking same with the gamin table layout yoy cab make buildings and trees and ect mofe realisjc casue its bigger

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I don't see why not.

[@garronjohnson483]

From I have the rulebook in my lap right now "Because everything is managed using the movement template, Gaslands scales perfectly to different sizes of model cars. To play gaslands with 28mm vehicles, simply photocopy the templates at 130% original size"

[@Grandtank1999]

Sure is a lot of shooting in this. I feel like it should be once per turn not once per gear. When I've played the majority of cars on the table die before the first turn is over.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Then just restrict shooting to once a turn. Easy.

[@scottmills4164]

why do you keep taking two turns with the prison car? he smashes into the blue car, then goes again?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I'm not sure what you're referring to, I haven't watched this video since I edited it almost two years ago. It'll just be a simple mistake.

[@scottmills4164]

@@StormofSteelWargaming I see. I am just learning, but twice in a row he prison car crashed into the blue car, then you activated it again, wasn't sure if that was a thing. I'm sure just too much going on for one person.

[@indianajon7980]

How does it compare to the old dark future game?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Far more streamlined and quicker to play.

[@MrRschwab]

Interesting but not my cup of tea.
